Please review (: I really want to know what you think. Also because it's the holidays now I'm going to catch up on updating my stories and I'll be doing the ones with the most reviews/follows/favourites so…
"What the hell is he doing?" Eleazar murmured to no one in particular. We all watched in fascination as the lighting hit the ground over and over again, each time in a slightly different place. It was raining heavily but even though Carlisle was standing in it, he didn't look wet at all.
"I think he's just playing with it," Alistair said back.
Suddenly an extra big strike hit the ground, throwing Carlisle backward and lighting the grass on fire. He watched in annoyance as the greenery burnt around him, not seeming scared of the flames even though he was right in the middle of them. I wondered if he had done it on purpose.
A shimmering blue pane appeared, arching into a tunnel, creating a path through the heat. The fire in its centre cleared immediately. Carlisle hesitated before walking through it. Garrett cheered. I hadn't realised he had been outside as well. He was drenched.
"GARRET GET INSIDE!" Kate screamed at him. The rain and the fire stopped as he and Carlisle came in. "Go and shower before you get sick. He walked up the stairs mocking her but did as he was told. The sun came out and I glanced at Carlisle. He had his arms around Esme and was smiling for the first time since the Volturi came. He didn't seem to notice that the weather had changed. She did and smiled at me. A few people giggled.
"Next time you hug Garrett and that happens, I'm going to be concerned," Alistair told him.
"What?" Carlisle spun around to look outside. "This isn't fair." We all laughed.
"I think it's sweet," Carmen said.
"Ugh. I can hide things from Jasper and Edward, but apparently not from the god damn clouds." I couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or joking but the sun was still out.
"Technically, you're not hiding anything from the clouds, you're hiding it from yourself," Garrett said from the top of the staircase.
"Garrett, shut up and enjoy the good weather," Alistair snapped, knowing it wouldn't take much for it to pour again.
Carlisle was laughing. "Garrett and his infinite wisdom."
"See, I'm not stupid," Garrett stuck out his tongue at Alistair.
"I didn't say you were stupid, I said you were immature. And you just proved my point."
"At least I'm getting laid." He smirked at Alistair, eyebrows raised.
"Not anymore you're not," Kate told him.
"You little shit," Alistair chuckled. "Is that all you ever think about? Having sex with your wife?"
"No, the other half of the time I think about having sex with Carlisle," he said it seriously. We burst into hysterics. It was the first real moment of fun or stupidity we had had since Aro so the laughter was more intense than it should have been as the tension was released.
"See? This is why I was concerned when you two were living together."
"Shouldn't you just be happy your friends are happy," Carlisle asked, going up and wrapping his arms around Garrett the way he would Esme.
Alistair glanced behind him out the window. "No, it's weird. I don't want to have to sit between you two when you break up. And why are you playing along Carlisle Cullen?" he scolded.
"Because I love him." He pretended to look hurt.
"Prove it."
"The sun is still out." It was true, but it had noticeably dimmed and I guessed it took a lot of effort to keep it there.
"Do you know what? Two can play at that game," Kate pretended to be mad and kissed Esme's cheek, holding her hand when she was done. Esme giggled when she realised what she was doing.
"Four," Carlisle said grinning.
"What?"
"Four. You said two. Me, Garrett, you and Esme."
"Fine, whatever. You know what I meant."
"And also Katie, we're dudes, we don't care if you two do that. In fact, we might actually enjoy it," her husband teased her.
"You, Garrett, are disgusting sometimes."
"All the time," Carlisle and Alistair said at the same time.
"Aww, I thought you loved me though?"
"You're right I'm sorry."
"IF you really do love him, Carlisle," Esme started. "You wouldn't mind kissing him." She grinned, knowing she had caught him out.
"That's not fair," he started, fumbling to think of a reason why not.
"Why?"
"Because… Because, um, no sex before marriage?" She laughed at his reason.
"We had sex before marriage." The rest of the Cullens snickered, not hearing them usually talk like that. "And it's only a kiss."
"Yeah but…" it apparently stumped Carlisle too. "Why are you encouraging me to cheat on you?"
"I personally have no problem if we don't wait," Garrett said.
"What?" Carlisle asked, forgetting that they were still supposed to be gay. Alistair chuckled, knowing what was coming. Edward looked confused.
"Why are reciting pi, Garrett?" he asked.
He didn't reply, instead he kissed Carlisle who tried to wriggled away. "For the shock factor," he told Edward, "Because otherwise he wouldn't let me. He's too innocent."
"Not when you're done with him he won't be," Alistair murmured under his breath.
Kate and Esme were laughing. Carlisle recovered from his shock.
"Why would you- what? That doesn't matter, just- ugh- no." He walked away laughing.
"Aww, where are you going, I'm not done," Garrett whined.
"Stop before it gets weird," Kate told him.
"It already is weird!" Carlisle yelled back. He came back in again. "Although, he is a good kisser, I have to give him that."
"Stop!" Alistair half shrieked, covering his ears. "You two are so strange!"
"But you still love us," Garrett mused.
"Apparently not as much as you love each other," Esme giggled. Garrett turned around to face Carlisle.
"Don't do it again!" he yelped, running back a few steps. Garrett pouted and went down to Kate.
As I looked outside, I noticed the sun was out and the garden was light, except it didn't seem artificially harsh like when Carlisle did it usually. It looked normal. Like it was unaffected by him.
"Thank god that's over," Eleazar muttered. I wasn't sure whether he was referring to the rain, or the episode between the other two.
